I found another great site for adolscent reading strategies. I challenge you to try one strategy before our next meeting. Be prepared to discuss it at the meeting or write about it on the discussion board.
Looked up links - already doing graphic organizers - works great!
Check out this web page - has a list of seven comprehension strategies and a definition. The rest of the site is pretty cool also.http://www.choiceliteracy.com/public/144.cfm - Shannon
